This month we’re celebrating 46 years with Darrel and 38 years with Shayne 🎉, and that’s not just time on a calendar. That’s decades of showing up for people.

Darrel co-founded Computer Hardware with a vision and a whole lot of determination. Over the years, he’s built more than a company. He’s built relationships, trust, and a culture that cares deeply about doing right by our customers. Schools in our communities have better technology because he believed in supporting education early on. Local businesses have stayed up and running because he believed in being a dependable partner. His fingerprints are all over the foundation of who we are today.

And Shayne — 38 years of steady leadership, problem-solving, and taking care of customers in Hastings and beyond. He’s the kind of person who answers the call, finds a solution, and makes sure people feel taken care of. His consistency has made a real difference for the schools, businesses, and families we serve every day.

When you add up 46 and 38 years, that’s a lot of early mornings, long days, big decisions, and quiet behind-the-scenes moments that helped our communities grow.

We’re proud to work alongside you both. And we’re grateful our communities get to, too. 💙

03/08/2026

Happy 46th anniversary to us! 🎉

We’re grateful for every customer, every conversation, and every repair that’s come across our counters. Thanks for supporting your local tech folks all these years.

Here’s to many more!

We're going back to MACE (Mid-America Association for Computers in Education) in Manhattan, Kansas tomorrow!

We're so excited to be partnering with Newline for a session this year and to connect with educators across the Midwest, have meaningful conversations and share the technology solutions we work with every day in our schools. If you're there, make sure to look out for Trent, Randy and Austin! 🤩💙💻
